Senate Republicans on Thursday defended their handling of Loretta Lynch’s nomination for attorney general amid mounting Democratic criticism that the GOP is unnecessarily slow-walking her confirmation.

The Judiciary Committee officially held over Lynch’s nomination on Thursday, kicking her confirmation vote until after next week’s congressional recess. Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said that “unfortunately,” Lynch did not provide “very many responsive” answers to her 200-plus-pages of written questions.

“Now, I know there’s a lot of pressure to answer these questions quickly, but that doesn’t excuse the incomplete answers,” Grassley said. “A nominee to be attorney general should take time to familiarize herself with the important issues the Department of Justice faces.”

[Faux pas]

2. I am having reading comprehension problems today.

I first read that as "Loretta Lynn."

5. If it was Loretta Lynn (country western singer) her nomination would have sped through confirmation!

3. I am sure she provided the required responses....

but the GOP probably didn't like her responses.... (apologizing for the profanity ---- this is for demonstration purposes only)

Question #1: Would you help us deny the right for any minority person (nigger, fag, wetback) from voting in Murka?
Question #2: Would you help us ensure that our good buddies the Koch Brothers take control of Murka?
Question #3: Would you help us finally kill off the middle class and make them serfs so the wealthy can reign supreme?
Question #4: Do you agree that all young nigger bucks should be incarcerated?

This is the kind of questioning they really want to do but they cannot. They are disgusting!

4. Nailed it!!!!!

Ding ding ding we got a winner.

6. FINE BY ME! Another two years of Eric Holder will implode their tiny brains!

7. Let's think about this: she's an African American, potential Attorney General during an election

and not just any election, a presidential one. The agency she would command has under its umbrella the protection of voting rights and election integrity.

Could this possibly have any influence on the Republicans' hesitation in approving her appointment?
